In Fortnite has been busy since Season 4. Players can transform into Chrom blobs, the world is converted into a shiny wonderland, and quirky skins spice up the scenery. Now Epic Games has even dropped a new gun on the map, and it’s quite crazy.
What kind of weapon is this? In Fortnite, every new season brings not only map changes and new Battle Pass skins, but also crazy inventions from Epic Games’ armory. This time, the developers have come up with something quirky, namely the Explosive Goo Gun.
We show you everything important about the weapon, where to find it, and what the community thinks of the gun.
Can destroy buildings in seconds – players fear nerf
What can the weapon do in battle? The gun fires orange goo that sticks to all surfaces. Once sprayed, the sticky mass expands briefly and then detonates with devastating effect.
Here’s a clip that visually shows you the effect of this new substance:
Epic Games has created many explosive weapons, some of which are among the best guns in the game, but the Goo Gun is different from all other variations so far.
With this gun, you have the ability to tear down buildings in seconds. Wooden, stone, metal walls and surrounding structures don’t stand a chance and are brought down in the blink of an eye.
What do the players say? On Reddit, players are trying to associate the weapon with another gaming title. DartBoardGamer comments on the trailer: “Welcome to the Fortnite Splatfest,” referring to Splatoon.
Other players even say that the orange substance reminds them of the propulsion gel from Portal, as Reddit user Unusuall-Drop2344 declares.
In terms of atmosphere, some players find the weapon great, but are also concerned about an upcoming nerf.
- “I give it one day before it gets nerfed into the ground. Too much fun to last.” – says anger_is_a_gif
- “I got several wins with it tonight, it will definitely sadly get nerfed. It does so much damage in seconds, especially when players are covered with it.” – says GoldenYellowPup
- “Not to mention that the other guy can’t see anything while covered, so you can just take him out with a headshot” – adds NinjaMelon39
If you haven’t tested the weapon yet, now would be a good time before Epic Games either vaults it or, worse, nerfs it into the ground.
